The Tomorrowland / Discoveryland concept has always been the
most difficult for the Disney imagineers to maintain. After all, when the first
Disney park opened, it was 2 years before the first space launch, so the idea of travel to
the planets was futuristic indeed.

With technology advancing so quickly, it has become
nearly impossible to present a prediction of the future, so the new outlook is more a
vision of the future in the abstract, along the lines of Jules Verne and H.
G. Wells. A
similar approach is now being taken at the other parks, although many feel the Paris park
has the lightest feel too it.
